Sharepoint 2007, Outlook and Infopath question. Hi,
Is it possible to create a form in infopath, send it out for people to fill out in their email, hit a button to 'submit' it back which actually sends it to sharepoint where it goes into a customized list for later manipulation.
Thanks

Parsing WSS 2007 event log files In WSS 2003, there is a way to parse the event log files as shown in the article Usage Event Logging in Windows SharePoint Services ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms916815.aspx ). Is this article still relevant for WSS 2007 or is there some other way for us to parse the event log files in WSS 2007 Tag: SharePoint - Setup, Upgrade, Administration and Operation Upgraded Site still using v2 folders SharePoint Products and Technologies

Chaning MasterPage for Page Layouts Replace the page directive in the Page layout with the following.
<%@ Page language="VB" MasterPageFile="BlackSingleLevel.master" Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.WebPartPage,Microsoft.SharePoint,Version=11.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>
This would allow associating custom master pages and would not change even if the default master page is different than the one that is associated with the layout.

Displaying Recent Blog Posts on Portal default page Hi Curtis,
Thanks for your replies.
I have been trying to use the data view web part, but without much luck. Everything i try i get the error :
Unable to display this Web Part. To troubleshoot the problem, open this Web page in a Windows SharePoint Services-compatible HTML editor such as Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer. If the problem persists, contact your Web server administrator.
Which makes it very frustrating
What I did was export the MySite one to a .webpart file and re-import it on the portal site and changes some properties, but alas, no luck
I¡¯m fresh out of ideas.

WCM - Content Deployment & Deleting Pages Hey Guys,
I've just started to test the content deployment features of MOSS 2007. I have a staging site and a "live" site and I have configured a deployment path & job to deploy from the staging site to the live. This works in that new or modifed content is deployed, however if I delete a page from the staging site it is not deleted from the live site.
Has anyone else experienced this Does anyone have any solutions

Shared multi-lingual content across multiple site collections with different structures I'm currently working on a design solution to migrate four related websites from another CMS system into Sharepoint. One of the main stumbling blocks we are at is the ability to share content.
The existing CMS system allows the same content to be copied across to the different sites each of which has different structures. By using Sharepoint we can use variations to have a translatation workflow for the content which is fine. The problem comes when sharing this content.
On their intranet site collection, there will be a News site (one of a few areas of shared content) which needs to be "copied" to three other sites collections, each of which has different structures as well as different branding. The Intranet Site would provide a single-point to create variations in two different languages.
We've thought of using Content Deployment to copy content, but this imposes too many limitations on structure as well as issues around branding and setting up. We've also thought about using variation heirarchies to create variations from a parent variation but this does not appear to be possible given the limitations of one variation root per site collection. We've also thought of having separate sites each with their own variation but this means multiple places to translate the same content. We've also thought about having a central site which has all the shared content but this creates problems of a) branding (without creating dynamic templates) and b) links to related content and the branded site navigation being lost.
Effectively what we're trying to do is this:
1. Have four sites
2. Each site contains its own content
3. Each site also accesses or uses content from a shared single repository which is language sensitive (i.e. knows what language items to display)
4. Each site has a variation workflow in place (to manage its own content translatation)
5. The single repository has its own variation workflow in place to manage the shared content translation
6. The branding of one site is consistent regardless of where the content is from (i.e. from its own site, or from the shared repository)
We're currently looking into two possibilities: one is to modify the workflow to copy content from one library to another, the second is this post on your forum
Any help or advice would be received gratefully. If you need more information let me know - this is a very urgent issue for us, and I can't believe it has not been seen or done already!!

How to autogenerate columns on an SPGridView? Dudley wrote:
Unless I am mistaken - the SPView class does not expose a Fields collection - and that's really my problem. Here's the code for my method so far - I am really just trying to find out what I should replace the question marks with.
Ooops .. my mistake. I was thinking of Lists.
Yes, the SPView doesn't contain a Fields collection .. instead it has the SPView.ViewFields property.
( you look in the schema.xml you will notice that the ViewFields is actually the same string format as the SPViewFieldsCollection items.)
So .. how to get the Display Name you ask
Well, the SPView will have a ParentList property. This represents the list to which the View is attached.
The SPList object DOES have a "Fields" collection.
So you could iterate through this Fields collection and grabbing the SPField.DisplayName property.
Does this point you in the right direction Tag: SharePoint - Setup, Upgrade, Administration and Operation Upgraded Site still using v2 folders SharePoint Products and Technologies

Social Distance and Problems Viewing Search Results Hi, I'm having trouble viewing the full result set of a People search in Sharepoint 2007. This only happens when the search results are viewed by 'social distance' and only for certain network logons. When I view the results by 'relvance' the whole search result is visible. Specifically when logged on as a particular user and doing a search for people in a particular department in our organization I get 3 pages of results, the first page is fine, but the second page only shows the navigation links and nothing else on it. The third page mysteriously also only has one person on it. All of this goes away if I switch to view results by relvance instead of social distance and I see the full 3 pages of results. Also this is not a problem if I log onto our network as a different user.
I am having a hard time finding documentation on how Sharepoint figures out 'social distance', can anyone point me to some articles on this Or, if anyone has had a similar problem please let me know how you solved it. For now I've made the 'order by relevance' the default for searches but would like to get to the bottom of this issue.
thanks.

Attaching a file to a newly created Task Hi, I'm using Sharepoint Designer 2007 to design this workflow. I'm also using the Compliance Process Template from MS and the Control Tasks list, although I think that's irrelevant. I have a workflow that creates a new task in the Control Task list when a document is added. I'm trying to attach the document to the task. My problem is that many of the fields that would be associated with the Control Task list, I cannot modify. Example FileName and Filetype do not show up when I try and add/modify a field. I can do a lookup on those fields in the Quality Task list, but they are not among the fields listed when I attempt to modify. Any suggestions Thanks David Tag: SharePoint - Setup, Upgrade, Administration and Operation Upgraded Site still using v2 folders SharePoint Products and Technologies

Indexing MDI files from Office Document Imaging [upon previewing, i know the fonts are all screwy here...just copy and paste or squint . I'll work on reformatting this after I get some sleep. I've written this for WSS 3.0, but if you're using MOSS 2007, the steps are virtually identical. You might just need to do a little control-F in regedit to get to the appropriate key location (i think its under OfficeServer instead of Shared Tools - something like that)]
To Install support for PDF / MDI / TIF / XPS indexing in Sharepoint 3.0
Sorry for the delay - yeah MDI indexing was crucial for me as well as the filesizes are much more compressed. The search filter settings are located in 3 different locations, but are all virtually identical in nature - they all relate to specific registry keys. First off, you need to make sure the MDI filter is installed in SQL server. You need to install Microsoft Document Imaging from the Office 2003 or Office 2007 installation - under Additional Tools if you do a custom installation. Then in SQL Server, run the following query to determine installed filters: select document_type , class_id , version from sys.fulltext_document_types. This will return a list of the extensions filtered along with the clsid of the components handling them. If you have an entry for .mdi files, then copy the clsid to a location you can reference later. If you do not see .mdi listed but you have MODI installed, you need to run the following sql query to enable the iFilter (something about Microsoft not signing the component so sql blocks it by default):
Code Snippet
exec sp_fulltext_service 'load_os_resources', 1;
exec sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0; go
After this, re-run the first query to verify .mdi files are now associated with the correct component (should be clsid: 62160CBE-AFCB-4795-9B68-DDE5BA6D2524 ). With this done, time to modify the registry. With WSS 3.0 installed, you want to navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0 - and do an export for backup purposes of everything under this key. Navigate to the sub key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0\Search\Applications\89a9d417-5231-45b7-a9f5-08d4e043d8ce\Gather\Search\Extensions\ExtensionList - you're CLSID may differ from mine, but the structure should be similar. In the extension list you will see a list of keys listed by number with extension types as the data. Add the extensions you're interested in indexing (for me I added keys 38,39,40 with data of "pdf","mdi","xps" respectively). Next navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Default - Here is a key called "DefaultExtList" that should currently tell what extensions are handled by sharepoints default iFilter. I made sure to remove "Tif" and "Tiff" from this list as they need to be handled through the MODI filter. Next navigate to the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension - Here you find how sharepoint maps extensions to the components to handle them. Insert keys following the existing layout by adding your extensions along with the CSLID for your MODI component (should be 62160CBE-AFCB-4795-9B68-DDE5BA6D2524 ). On a side note, if you pulled out the SQL iFilters list in the first step, feel free to setup PDF indexing along the way - just poing the extension PDF at the CSLID found in your SQL Server. Also, take care to point TIF and TIFF files to the MODI component as well. Last step here, I went to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0\Search\Setup\Filters - and followed the existing structure to tie my TIF and PDF extensions to the appropriate MIME-TYPEs ('application/pdf' and 'image/tiff' respectively).
With this done, do another backup of this entire part of the registry in case things need to be redone. While I originally thought these changes would do the trick, after a server reboot I found out that all the registry settings I modified were reverted back to the original settings automatically (I was pretty pissed). If this happens, you can simply execute the backed up .reg file to merge the changes you made right back in. After my registry was put back to normal I figured there must be saved copies of this part of the registry somewhere (sharepoint must do some comparison against factory default settings and modify if it notices changes/corruption). The copy of the registry is actually held in your SQL Server database for sharepoint as a binary field in a table. Specifically, in your Search Database under the table MSSconfiguration is a record with the field Name='RegistryBlob' and BigValue= the binary data containing the original registry information. I wrote a little .net application that retrieved the binary bytes from this record and wrote them to the filesystem. Open up the file in a text editor and you will see it is just another .reg file. You need to make the same updates you made to the actual registry in this file, so that upon comparison Sharepoint will not recognize any differences. This is were cutting and pasting from the backup .reg files I mentioned previously will make this very easy. Upon finishing the file updates, modify your application to then read the bytes from the file and update the existing record with the new binary data. Lastly, upon searching around the hard drive I found another file located around the Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\etc... called 'registryblob.reg' that was another 3rd copy of the same registry information. I simply copied over this file (after making a backup) with the same file I was uploading in binary back to the MSSconfiguration table. With this done, you should be good to go. Again, we're making the same registry modifications but in 3 different locations. Once in the actual registry, once in a .reg file around the hard drive, and once in a binary file held in the Search Database table MSSconfiguration. Reboot the server, upload a .mdi/.tif/.pdf file(s), wait 10 mins or so and do a search against content in the file. Should be jackpot. The following is the code I used to write the binary into/out of the table (pretty basic stuff):
Code Snippet
'Read binary to local file
Dim sql As String = "SELECT BigValue FROM MSSConfiguration WHERE Name = 'RegistryBlob'"
Dim sqlcom As New SqlClient.SqlCommand(sql, SqlConnection4)
sqlcom.Connection.Open()
Dim bytes() As Byte = sqlcom.ExecuteScalar
sqlcom.Connection.Close()
Dim fs As New System.IO.FileStream("c:\db_original.reg", IO.FileMode.Create)
Dim bw As New System.IO.BinaryWriter(fs)
bw.Write(bytes)
bw.Close()
fs.Close()
MsgBox("done")
'Write binary back to database
Dim sql As String = "UPDATE MSSConfiguration set BigValue = @data WHERE Name = 'RegistryBlob'"
Dim sqlcom As New SqlClient.SqlCommand(sql, SqlConnection4)
sqlcom.Parameters.Add(New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@data", SqlDbType.Binary))
Dim fs As New System.IO.FileStream("c:\db_modified.reg", IO.FileMode.Open)
Dim br As New System.IO.BinaryReader(fs)
Dim data() As Byte = br.ReadBytes(fs.Length)
br.Close()
fs.Close()
sqlcom.Parameters("@data").Value = data
Try
sqlcom.Connection.Open()
sqlcom.ExecuteNonQuery()
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
Finally
sqlcom.Connection.Close()
End Try
MsgBox("done") Tag: SharePoint - Setup, Upgrade, Administration and Operation Upgraded Site still using v2 folders SharePoint Products and Technologies

Folder Permission Inheritance Problem - Inconsistent unique permission Good day,
Below are the steps to reproduce the problem
Create 3 custom access group in the site ("Group1", "Group2", "Group3")
Created a document library ("Doc").
Created a folder ("F1") in "Doc"
Remove default permissions and added permissions "Group1", "Group2", "Group3" to "F1"
Created a subfolder ("F11") in "F1" with inherited permission "Group1", "Group2", "Group3"
Removed the inherited permission in subfolder "F11" and remove "Group1", leaving "Group2", "Group3"
Back to folder "F1", removed permission "Group1" and "Group2", leaving "Group3"
Back to subfolder "F11", verified permission. "Group2" was removed and "Group3" remained
At folder "F1", added permission "Group1", become "Group1", "Group3"
Back to subfolder "F11", verified the permission. "Group3" remained and unaffected
Although the permission inheritance was broken at Step 6, somehow the permission removal on folder "F1" still affects subfolder "F11". However, If a new permission is added on folder "F1", it didn't reflect back to subfolder "F11". I tried with 2nd level subfolder "F111" and it seems like some inconsistency in between too.
It's MOSS 2007 Enterprise Ed. with the latest updates installed on the WIndows SharePoint Services 3.0 through Windows Update.
Is it some misconfiguration that missed out or is it an issue Been tried to search for solution in Internet. But seems like no posts that mention this issue.

Special characters and paged grouped views Hi all
I'v run into a strange behaviour of WSS 2.0. Here is the scenario:
- I have a view of a custom list that is grouped. - The field that is used for grouping is a lookup field to a choice field in another custom list - The custom list contains 100's of items, so it is paged
What happens is the following:
- When the lookup field used for grouping starts with any of the Swedish characters A, A or O that group doesn't show in the view - If I increase the object limit, so that all items fit into one page, the group shows
Is this a bug in WSS 2.0 or am I missing something here

No Please Help-Server Farm Configuration Not Complete No, you can have indexing service on the front-end machine. This is actually the only option for a small farm (WFE + SQL).
I would make sure that MOSS is installed using the Complete option in its setup. If you choose WFE, the setup just won't install application services (such as Search) on the box.

Item-level Permissions on Lists Hi all,
In a custom list library, Is it possible to restrict users viewing the items that are not owned by them or assigned to them
Example:
I have a group of people including A,B,C,D,E. They are all contributors.
User A creates a Confidential item and starts Approval WF on it, assigning to D and E for approval. Only A, D and E should see and edit that item and its contents.
Actually in Settings\Advanced Settings\Item-Level Permissions we can select ¡°Only their own¡± option at Read Access and Edit Access sections. However doing so also restricts them viewing the items assigned to them (e.g. approval workflow).

[WSS 3.0] lookup field: get information from large list I have created a custom lookup field type. This type sends query to the server after a button click and searches for data by TextBox value. Then the results are displayed in a ListBox. User picks a result from listbox and saves it afterwards. But with this custom lookup field type the workflow doesn't work. Why

But is there any other solutions in WSS 3.0, for picking data from a large list and saving it in another list as lookup field should do.

Turn Off Hover Over Screen Tips on Browser form There's no way, at least what I've seen, to turn off the tooltip popups for controls which are "required", but there is a way to turn them off for Data Validation cases:
To do so, you'll need to edit the manifest.xsf file with a text editor. You'll see something like the following:
<xsf:errorCondition match="/my:Fields" expressionContext="my:Item" expression=". = &quot;&quot;"> <xsf:errorMessage type="modeless" shortMessage="Cannot be blank"></xsf:errorMessage> </xsf:errorCondition>
Change the shortMessage to "" (you need to leave the attribute in, though) and the error message won't appear. I turned off "required" for all my components and created custom Data Validation rules instead. Once I removed the shortMessage, everything worked fine.
Tip: Change the message within InfoPath to something like $$$$$, then do a find/replace to replace $$$$$ with nothing.

Hi ,

I have 10 sites in sharepoint 2003 ,created using custom site defination.I have migrated all using gradual migration approach.Following actions coverd by me during migration

1.) Same layout/custom site defination created in 2007.2.) Same id assigned in webtemp*.xml that exist in 2003 custom site defination.3.) Upgradation file has been created and deployed in upgrade\config file .

After upgradation sites are still showing v2 layout and pointing list folders available in custom site defination of 2003.I have gone through the WSS SDK and come to know that if upgradation path is missing this kind of problems comes.

This is said to be caused by being logged in as the wrong user when doing the upgrade.

I had it when I used the server's administrator when doing the upgrade for instance.

If this is the case another sign is that you don't have a recycle Bin in those transfered sites.

It's said that doing a Revert to Template will clear this up. (I can't guarantee that because I no longer have the site I converted wrongly). This is the same revert to template that you normally use in v3 SP products when you want to get rid of changes you have made in v3 to a standard template.

I hope this helps. I apologise for the lack of certainty in this repsonse.

Finally i got the solution . The problem was in upgrade file . In upgrade file Toversion attribute should be same as custom site defintion revision attribute in project element.If it will missmatch migration process will not give any error but still using old v2 defintion. Sourabh khatri.
